We will keep you informed! As we get the information we pass it along right here.

As always the lineup may change. Don't be surprised when last minute cancelations happen. The Shooting Star has always done a great job of finding great talent to replace them.

We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for ParaCon 2016. While we at Midwest Paranormal Files are active participants in Paracon, the event organization and talent coordination remains the responsibility of Shooting Star Casino. We are happy to share suggestions and feedback with our contacts and friends in the Event Center staff and planning committee. Paracon continues to grow and change, and we hope this year will be just as fun and informative as years past!

Please bring the following people back, if possible: Grant Wilson, Kris Williams.... These two are favorites with everybody! Also, please look into Erin Marie Hogan, the Hollywood Ghost Hunters, The Bama boys, Kevin and Randy from Southwest Paranormal.... All those above react and interact so well with the audience both in and out of the hall

Grant Wilson and the Bamako boys if possible. No more failing actors and actresses like erin hogan (no personality). No more Ghost Adventure people since most are arrogant and do not want to interact with people (especially leader (what a fake)).

That's to bad you had such a negative experience with Zak.. As a lot of UA did not.. He was the one of the only people who sat there for hours upon hours signing autographs and talking to fans. Me and my friends walked around the hall and there was no one else at there booths only them.. Not sure what people were expecting from him .. Must have been along day

I was looking forward to attending again this year as to I have been to the last 2 years now but I found out that Dave Schrader, Jeff Belanger ,and the Ghost adventures crew will not be there this year ..seeing as this is truth I will not be attending this year ..I was all but excited for October until I found this out ...very disappointed and sad

Last year a conflict in their schedule kept them from showing up. After they cancelled Shooting Star was able to bring Loren Coleman, Nick Groff, Linda Blair (who was awesome and took time for everyone) and possibly a couple others. So, to me it was a big trade up. Right now they say they will be there. Guess we will see if they hold true to their word this time.

I spoke with John Tenney in April at The Stanley Hotel and he thought he would be coming? I also saw Chip there in CO and spoke to him last month again on the phone and he said he'd be surprised if he wasn't there again this year, but he hadn't 'heard anything from them' yet. Said he'd been there all but the 1st year, but his schedule IS filling up fast! Please get these guys on board - thanks!!

Hey, really hoping ghost adventure crew come this year. Was hoping for them.last year but I guess conflict in their scheduling got in the way. When is the latest that a vendor can back out of coming ? Trying to plan to come but the wife will only go if they are coming .. Also bring back chip he was my fav as well

As it says above, shooting star puts this together. We don't do the booking of talent. We suggest people, and promote it but that is all. We have been involved since the begining. The other local hotels don't have the room either. I would suggest asking for a smoke free room when booking. Or stay in Detroit Lakes and one of the many options there.

It looks like no one has backed out yet of this great line up! Fingers crossed everyone scheduled to attend are all still coming !how will we know when a vendor has canceled? Will they be removed from this site ?

Hello,
Is ParaCon going to be in any other cities this year? Also I'm having a bit of trouble finding tickets, I'm hoping for 2 VIP ones anywhere in the states. Coming from either Okc, Ok or Dallas, TX. This would be my 1st time attending a Paranormal conference and I couldn't be more excited!!!

There are a lot of other ParaCon's. Scarefest is around the same weekend, the following one I believe. A simple search will list a lot of choices. Look up Ideal Entertainment, they are the agency behind most of the talent. This one, I am told, is bigger and better than most. People have more access at this event than others. Go to the Shooting Star Casino website and get tickets. The hotel is probably full. Look to nearby Detroit Lakes for rooms.

My husband and I have plans to attend (rooms already booked!) but we have 4 small children with us, ages 6 and under. Youngest is a 2 month old. Would each child need a ticket? I know most events don't charge for children of a certain age, especially a baby. Please let me know. Thanks!
